If you need Matlab compatibility, I think freemat is the way to go. Matlab compatibility is an objective of freemat.

Note:

Do make sure that your path is set correctly. Otherwise, many functions that are implemented will not be found, making the compatibility seem less than it really is.

Something went wrong with how freemat got into intrepid. If yuo're going fo rfreemat, the following link might be useful. I also experience the quirk described in the post, but I haven't tried it yet.

matlab has a linux port... so if you are in a university, it is easy to get access to free student license

in my university, they have a webpage to download the linux .iso file and activation codes for university students

For compatibility with MatLab, the best options are Octave and Python + Matplotlib depending on what you actually want to do.
